Here are some quick photos of my new lower stress bar setup using heim joints. I've installed the main bar and two secondary bars. The install was MUCH easier with the adjustable heim joints compared to when I did my home-made stuff. The side bars literally install in just a few minutes. The main bar was a bit tougher, but still relatively easy to do. All you need to do is adjust the length with the heim joints to get a perfect fit and then bolt them in place and tighten down the locking nuts. So far they are holding up great and performing very well.
BTW, if anyone is interested I've got a spare main bar with heim joints that's brand new. Plus I've got the home-made side bars that you can see photos of in my earlier posts that are used. I'm going to hold onto my old main bar though because I think I can use the 1" aluminum material. If anyone wants these bars just drop me a PM. I'll take $65 for the main bar and $49 for the side bars (two of them), plus $10 shipping. I'd prefer to sell together as a set.
